During a recent HDH time, an elder Mrs. Park gave a testimony. In it, she mentioned "I left him [her church minister] realizing that I had nothing more to learn from this minister."
As a minister, teacher, leader or parent, and etc. we need to keep up to the mark so as to accomplish tasks that these roles are expected to fulfill. This is very basic in the commercial world. Although it might not be so ruthless in ministry and family contexts than in the commercial world, the expectation, especially self-expectation should rightfully be there. Otherwise, the congregation, students, subordinates, or children might be stuck in a stagnant state, because not many people are as lucky as Mrs. Park to have found another better path.

As one saying goes: "I Forgot what I was Taught, I Remember what I have Learned".
Many leaders (esp Religious Leaders)lack 2 things: Leadership Skills (basically people skills) and Life (experiential) Experiences.
Having great knowledge is not enough to make you a great leader, because people forgot what they have been taught.
But a leader who lead by examples is one where the followers can really learn and be inspired by.
